Review of Progress and Achievements The Church contracts the services of a full-time pastor. All other assistance is on a voluntary basis. The Church provides a Sunday morning seniice with Sunday morning Junior Church classes and crèche and regular mid week meetings. Several new families from diverse backgrounds and ethnicity are now attending regularly with children from babies up to young teenagers. Additional a monthly children's afternoon meeting runs to which children from the rown are invited , as well as church children. The video recording of Sunday Servi is being put on YouTube and DVD . as well as being for the benefit of church members who are unable to attend services it has been noted that others outside the church were receiving the Christian ministry of the church. A number of dis-advantaged members of the local community regularly attend our meetings. They find this a safe place and are receiving friendship and encouragement that they are lacking elsewhere in their dealing with society. We give financial and spiritual support towards various missionary organisations and individuals; missionaries both at horne and in Uganda, Romania, South Africa, Zambia and China. A gift was sent to an English aid worker in Romania working with Care Trust Romania and to Care Trust Romania to aid those in need.
de Christian Service Church Trustees, Annual Re for the Year Ended 31" December 2023 As a Church we sponsor a junior school in Uganda in a remote village called Magada. Individual Church members also sponsor children in Uganda by paying towards their education. Again as a Church we have built up good relationships with many people in Uganda over many years and are in regular contact with someone who goes there several times a year. We give gifts to guest speakers who attend special meetings throughout the year. Financial Review Total receipts on unrestricted fundswere £75,335, over 50% of the income received bythe church comes from regular donations from individuals registered for Gift Aid. unrestricted income in the year dropped 6% against 2022 receipts. Total unrestricted expenditure in the year for the church was £68,018 with £56,960 relating specifically to the activities of the church, and £11,058 relating to utilities and repairs to the building. The unrestricted fund ended the year with a gain of £6.300, this was mainly due to budgeting for a childrens, work in 2023, however the position was not filled. The church also regularly collects restricted funds for guest speakers. church missions and supporting the church in Romania and a local church and school in Uganda with which tt has close ties. total income on restrirted funds across these activities was £15,682 with expenses of £18,612, timing of collects vs. release of these funds can be associated with timing of school term dates in Uganda. The restricted funds ended the year with an overall loss £2930. this is partially due to higher activity in 2023 than in prior years due to COVID and monies collected during the COVID years being released as school attivity picked up in Uganda. The Designated fund is largely related to the building activity including income {£5,200) received from individuals to SUPPOrt the loan payment and utilities paid by this account. The largest expense in this fund related to £7,132 of electricity charges due to coming out of contract mid-winter. A contract has since been secured at a lower rate. During the year a further £4333.32 was paid off the interest free loan for the building purchase, the church has 6.5 years remaining before this loan is settled. The designated fund ended the year (£6,450) down, mainly due to the higher than expected energy costs during the first half of the year and the payment off the loan. Reserves Policy The churches intention is to maintain an unrestricted reserve of £20.000 to cover any low income periods and ensure the salary of the pastor can be met for at least a 6month period. The church also intends to hold an additional amount of £10,000 to cover any emergency repairs to the building that could become necessary. With £89,636 carried fop¥vard in the unrestricted fund and £13,921 in the designated fund, this level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
